    Strange developments in RAW after takeover by Airforce

    To BYS52. Yes. it's not good business to ignore customers. I had tried to get ahold of Martin and wife, but e-mails were not deliverable. They were superb as owners.

    Strange developments in RAW after takeover by Airforce

    Yes thank you Airgunmann. Having seen that reply explaining the reason for being charged for additional service written by a representative from Airforce/Raw I am hoping that my request maybe answered by that gent. I have seen the exploded diagrams from Theoben that may help, but to obtain the...

    Strange developments in RAW after takeover by Airforce

    Well then, maybe you can help me too. In 2015 I bought a HM 1000X in 25 cal and brought it here to NZ. Serial # 831 I have enjoyed shooting it, but it now has sat in storage due to a slight air leak. I believe it's in one of three places, the bottle, the intake fitting or in the gauge and intake...

    Welcome to AIRGUN NATION - please introduce yourself here!

    Hi AGM Bullitt, Welcome to A.N. I can't resist advising you to, first, ditch a few of those other expensive hobbies. Second, consider PCP's for the best experience with air gunning. I know there are people out there who are perfectly happy with the spring, pump, and co2. Third, for accuracy the...

    If you could only do pesting on 1 animal which would you choose and why ?

    Here in New Zealand I have shot a ton of goats but now it's mostly air rifle stuff. Hares because there is 2 1/2 times the amount of meat compared to rabbits. Last week I took three plovers, three rabbits, and three hares. All taken with my BSA sportsman HV in .22. Ranges from 4 meters to 75...

    My War on Starlings

    Most entertaining Bob. Nice that you can regulate the power of the Streamline. A fine choice of rifle! I took a young fellow out to the range and as a result he has bought a streamline. Now I haven't seen my pump for two months. Thank you for your post and the reminder that winter will be here...

    RAW REPORT

    Greetings from NZ and Happy New Year. I went out to the range on the 2nd Jan. Results as follows. In spite of a little hickup with the bolt needing some adjusting Imanaged two four shot sub MOA at 100 meters on the same target. Chasdicapaua wrote ".25 heavies - they tend to go where you want...

    Welcome aboard Matt. All the best with your new shooting venture. I love the Seattle area and wish I was in Eastern Washington looking for elk. Howeverit was too far to go this year.

    BSA Sportsman HV a Tried and True Oldie.

    Thanks BTB, It can be a bit difficult getting it sent to us here in NZ. I'd be keen to give it a try just because of the results you posted for me. I appreciate that. I was out with it yesterday, and with my HM 1000X . A lot of pumping!

    BSA Sportsman HV a Tried and True Oldie.

    Greeting Spysir. Your a Washington St lad, and in the past you have commented on my couple posts. I have always appreciated your comment. I doubt this one was ever tuned but I wonder if it would be worth seeing about a regulator for it? I am happy with it as is, what's your thoughts on a reg...

    BSA Sportsman HV a Tried and True Oldie.

    Hello JohnL57. I believe from 3000 down, about 10 shot seems to be the, as they say, sweat spot. However I mostly fill using a Hills pump and because I don't like lots of pumping I only fire a group and then refill. I'd be struggling to get it to 3200 psi. The rifle came with a tin of crossman...

    BSA Sportsman HV a Tried and True Oldie.

    I am wondering if anyone has had the good fortune to own a BSA Sportsman HV in .22. I can recall a number of years ago there being some for sale new States side, and I can only hope some people snapped them up. I live in New Zealand and we were on a trip to Kaikoura, a fishing, whale watch...

    75 Yards group thread

    Brian in NZ to Brian in MI. Nice groups. It is fine owning such a weapon. My RAW is a .25 and does quite well when I use it as it should be used. Mine was the first into New Zealand, I bet it won't be the last. Keep shooting straight.

    My RAW HM1000X

    Thank you Marcella 69, ​for the info. I can tell you have the bug for sure. When I ordered my RAW I was preoccupied with regulations getting it home here, so didn't focus as much on what I could get by way of extras. However,as the pictures will show, I did get the barrel wrapped, got it with...

    My RAW HM1000X

    Hi Marcella69. My HM is in .25 and it is regulated, as I believe all of them are. My best shot on game so far was on a hare (like a jack rabbit) paced off from the spot it was hit, and dropped, back to my rest [fence post] was 137 paces. Hit through the neck just below the scull. I smiled all...

    Welcome to AIRGUN NATION - please introduce yourself here!

    Welcome John. Your air pistol is a fine work indeed. I'd love to know more about it and how it shoots. I can only look with envy at anyone with their own workshop with metal working capabilities. You'd be a great neighbor to have, but alas 9000 miles away means you're safe. ​I look forward to...
